Now retired, he spends much of his time writing tales about Jamaican history, folklore and fantasy. His first book was a collection of ghost stories, entitled Jamaican Duppy Stories. He lives with his Jamaican born wife, Leonie in Nottingham England.
520 _aAn illustrated collection of Anansi stories "intended ... for all ages, being as it is a micro history of the legendary heroes of the Jamaican nation and a cry for the freedom of its people."
520 _aAn original concept [in which] the author does not relate the usual Anansi stories ... but entwines them with the lives of the Ashanti Africans from the slave trade to plantation life in Jamaica. You see Anansi from the interior to the coast of Africa with the captured Africans. You experience his horror of the Middle Passage, the auction block and plantation life and its many intrigues ..."
